Growing up in the 70s, my father had all their music on reel to reel tapes. Even today (I’m 59), December, 1963 stops me in my tracks, and the beat takes control. Not kidding at all. My favorite music hands down because of the connection to my father.

My favorite is Candy Girl. Regardless, FV is one of the hardest working entertainers in the business.

I think the world would be missing half the songs...
if the word ‘baby’ wasn’t around.
Far too many songs with ‘baby’ in the lyrics.

Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane/Starship) was infamous for her having a real ‘frenemy’ relationship with Marty Balin, and when she commented one day that she couldn’t stand love songs with the word “baby” in the lyrics, (so the story goes), Balin wrote the song “Miracles” specifically to spite Grace, as the word “baby” is used 30+ times in the lyrics of the song, and when the song was chosen as their next single, she was forced to sing it. :P

“Grease” and “oh what a night” are still played on the radio today

We saw him a few years ago with the “new” Four Seasons. He was incredible, so much energy and a great voice.

We saw him at Winstar Casino on NY Eve about 8 years ago. Great concert! After the show, I saw several of his band members at one of the bars. I called out to them, "Prosit Neue Jahre!" Next thing I know, their sax player starts rapping at me in German, as he worked for two decades in both East and West Germany.
It was a memorable 90 minutes, as we swapped stories about those days.

“The Jersey Boys” is an excellent movie. I wish I could see it performed as a play, but I missed out. It is up there with “Weird” about Al Jankovic, in feels and style. Loved them both, if anyone cares for my opinion.

Ic loved Jersey Boys too. I think Clint Eastwood directed it.

Can’t believe they killed him off in The Sopranos.

A friend wanted to show me the Jersey Boys movie, and I thought, “Ho hum...” —but it was great! Hearing a lot of Valli’s music all at once was extremely entertaining. Terrific musician.

One of my favorites by the Four Seasons is
Dawn. However, I would advise Dawn to heed Frankie's advice and go away. She needs to find a lover like
Jerry Cole who is ambitious and willing to work hard to achieve his long-term goals
